Zichi Gruossi e Mezzani

The 'Zichi Gruossi e Mezzani' festival is an event that brings to life the village of Eredita, a hamlet of Ogliastro Cilento, born from the initiative of the local Youth Forum. The name, which in the Cilentan dialect means 'little, big, and medium', clearly expresses the spirit of the initiative: bringing people of all ages together in a moment of sharing and rediscovering the territory's identity. The heart of the event unfolds along the streets and alleys of the village through a food and wine itinerary dedicated to the local flavors and products of Cilento. The festival offers traditional local recipes reinterpreted with a contemporary twist, combining memory and innovation while actively involving the younger generations in preserving dialects, places, and traditions. Accompanying the culinary offerings are live music performances, shows, and entertainment designed to suit the tastes of a diverse audience. The charming corners of Eredita are thus transformed into spaces for meeting and socializing, where Cilentan culture is passed down from the oldest to the youngest.
